Drunk Driver Injuries

South Bend Injury Lawyer for Accident Victims

When people think of drunk drivers, they usually think about the criminal
penalties associated with driving under the influence (DUI). We read in
the papers about the serious injuries and deaths in South Bend and other
Indiana communities caused by this crime, but when the headlines end and
even after the wrongdoer has served his or her sentence, there is still
a price to pay. Injured people must suffer pain and the loss of the use
of their bodies. They suffer horrible financial loss due to medical bills
and lost earnings. Families must learn to cope with the death of loved ones.

At Sweeney Julian, we know about these losses all too well. Too many times,
we have fought for the rights of people hurt due to the recklessness of
drunk drivers. The attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff at
our South Bend firm are well educated and work together to represent you
in an efficient and effective manner. If you or a loved one has been injured
as the result of a drunk driver, contact a
South Bend personal injury attorney at Sweeney Julian Personal Injury Trial Attorneys, P.C. immediately. Through
litigation, you can hold the guilty party responsible for his or her actions.

Tough Advocacy When You Need It Most

Thousands of people are killed or seriously injured each year in the United
States due to alcohol-related accidents. As the result of drunk drivers'
irresponsibility and careless behavior, many families needlessly suffer.
Anyone who causes an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol
is considered negligent.

When a person is under the influence of alcohol, his or her judgment is
impaired and he or she may act recklessly. In many cases, a drunk driver
may swerve, drive on the wrong side of the road, drive the wrong way down
a one-way street, speed through red lights, or simply drive into the rear
end of another car that they should have seen.

If you have been the victim of such a DUI accident, you may be able to
recover compensation for your injuries and accident-related costs, such as:

Pain and suffering

Property damage

Medical expenses

Loss of wages

Loss of earning capacity

You may also be entitled to recover punitive damages to punish the drunk
driver for his or her conduct. Our team at Sweeney Julian has the experience
and training to pursue the compensation you need. If you or a loved one
has been involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver in Indiana, please
contact our DUI accident attorneys today.
